This Fun Stop-Motion Video Reveals the Wild, Awesome Imagination of a Child

This is one of the coolest and most fun videos I’ve seen in a while, mostly because it’s a time machine back to childhood in the 80’s and 90’s.

The stop-motion video, directed by Marc Donahue, reveals the imagination of a kid and it’s filled with everything we love coming to life: Back to the Future! Sweets! Ghostbusters! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Where the Wild Things Are! Super Mario! Plus so much more. Imagination is a powerful thing.

Our imagination when we were kids is basically represented in the video.

As children, we viewed the world through the lenses of our imaginations. The carpet became lava, the shadows formed monsters, the family minivan was a spaceship. But the older we got, the more reality set in, and soon we forgot the magic our minds could create. We invite you to step back into your childhood and take a look through the lens once again.nahue and Roth Rind, that takes you on a journey through the mind of a 10 year old boy living in the 80’s and 90’s.
